Mediterranean, Greek Isles & Holy Land Cruises

Endless treasures await you in this legendary region.

  • 12-day options, like the Grand Mediterranean, Greek Isles and Holy Land, visit a wide variety of captivating ports.
  • Convenient 7-day Interlude Cruises on small ships that visit popular ports and off-the-beaten-path gems.
   
  • 2-Day Experiences and overnight stays in extraordinary places like Giza, Egypt and Jerusalem, Israel and Venice to explore even more.
  • Cruisetours pairing a 12-day Mediterranean cruise with a glorious land tour to places like Florence or Venice.

Mediterranean Cruises

Few regions can lay claim to so many must-see places. The ruins of Rome, Renaissance treasures in Florence, the magic of Venice, cosmopolitan Barcelona, exotic Istanbul, as well as hidden jewels like Portofino, Dubrovnik and much more are not to be missed.

 

Greek Isles Cruises

Athens, located on the mainland, gets the lion’s share of attention, but no visit to the Ionian Sea would be complete without sampling isles such as Santorini, with its dramatic volcanic cliffs, Mykonos and its whitewashed villas, and Katakolon, where the ancient Olympics were born.

 

Holy Land Cruises

Some of mankind’s greatest figures — mythical and historical — dominate this region. In Jerusalem, you’ll walk in the footsteps of prophets and kings in a city revered by three of the world’s great religions. In Giza you’ll discover the treasures of Pharaohs, the Pyramids and Sphinx.
